Virtual Reality made tangible

Our 3D-printer allows to print objects of an ultimate volume of 25 × 35 × 20 cm. Still, bigger models are possible by combining the separates. Precision and a batch density of 0.089 millimetres makes for the most detailed output imaginable.

Non load-bearing parts may have a maximal wall thickness of 2 millimetres. Load-bearing parts need to be about 5mm. Depending on the complexity of the object, production does not take longer than one day.

Turning the virtual object into a ready-to-print data file requires thorough 3D data processing.

We use the .stl format as our standard format. Objects in colour can bear up to 16.7 million different colours. For this we use the VRML-format, which offers an additional format to particularise surface textures in colour. Both data formats can easily be imported by every common 3D programme.

When creating the object, it is advisable to be in compliance with requirements of .stl-file export. Every single component of the object needs to be defined as a solid entity. Every component should be fitted without causing gaps, inversion should be prevented and area overlapping avoided. The ideal preparation of a 3D object is truly “air-impermeable”.

Our expert staff screen your files and optimise them with our special software. In doing so, potential mistakes can be avoided, and your data receives prompt processing. Our staff have received advanced training to perform this task. Moreover, our service comprises 3D-data preparation since this makes preparing the final printout much easier. And you will have your object at hand faster.
